SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 358,885, dated March 8,1887.

Application filed October 27, 1886. Serial No. 217,373. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J AMES B. RosE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in VVatch-Makers Tools; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, and to the letters or figures ofreference marked thereon, in which- Figure l is a perspective View,showing a balance-wheel of a watch properly attached or clamped. Fig. 2is a side elevation. Fig. 3 shows detached views of difi'erent parts.

The present invention has relation to watch- :nakers tools; and itsnature consist-s in the different parts and combination of partshereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all thefigures of the drawings.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the clamping-frame, which maybe substantially of the form shown. The top or upper part of thisclamping-frame is provided with the opening or space a, which is for thepurpose hereinafter described.

To the bottom or lower portion of the clamping-frame A is attached theshank B; or, if desired, this shank may be made integral with theclamping-frame. The shank B is provided with a screwthreaded aperture,which is for the purpose of securing the screw-threaded portion of thehandle 0.

\Vithin the clamping-frame A is located the adj Listing-block D, and forthe purpose of holding this adj usting-block in proper position theplates I) b are provided, which plates embrace the sides of theclamping-frame A, as shown in Fig. 1.

To the top or upper end of the handle 0 is attached the screw 6, saidscrew being located as shown in Fig. 3, and is for the purpose ofretaining the adj usting-block D as the handle 0 is lowered. This screwe should be provided with a left-hand thread, so as to prevent saidscrew from becoming detached in use. The

screw 6 is provided with the shoulder or smooth portion d, which forms ajournal or bearing. The head is countersunk, as shown in Fig. 3, so asnot to interfere with the pivots of wheels, and for the purpose ofproviding a place for the pivots of wheels theadj usting-block D isprovided with the recess or opening E, which recess or opening may besubstantially of the form shown in the drawings.

The top or upper portion of the adjustingblock D is provided with therecess f, which is for the purpose of preventing a wheel or otherarticle from falling or passing by the ad justing-block D, and at thesame time locating the article designed to be placed in theclamping-frame A at or about the place desired.

In use the adjusting-block D is lowered, so as to provide a spacebetween the top or upper side of said adj usting-block D and the bot tomor under side of the upper portion of the clamping-frame A. \Vheu awheel or other article designed to be worked upon is placed as shown inFig. l and securely clamped by means of the handle 0, the opening orspace a is provided, so as not to interfere with the pivots of wheels.It will be seen that by my peculiar arrangement I am enabled to securelyhold in proper position a watch-wheel or other article, and at the sametime hold it in such a manner that it will not be sprung or twisted outof shape, and in repairing the balancewvheels of watches both portionsof a wheel will beheld in their normal positions, thereby preventing thepossibility of getting a balancewheel out of true.

For the purpose of placing the adjustingblock D within theclamping-frame A, one of the plates 1) is detachable, so that the adjusting-block D may be passed in from one side when the plate is securelyattached to said adj usting-block by means of the screws 9.

Having fully described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of the clamping-frame A, having the opening or spacea, with the ad justing-block D, having the opening or space E, and thehandle 0, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have 10 hereunto subscribed myname in the presence of two witnesses.
